The value of Fred Thomas -or- The Truth by TPS :)

For everyone calling for Fred Thomas' head last week, don't forget he's a monster in run support. We missed him yesterday on the edge. He's gotten beat on a few long TD's this year (he's kind of a small guy), but he's a solid tackler. He's currently 4th on the team with 39 total tackles (33 solo). So for those who were calling for his head, I think you see what you get when our Nickel CB is starting.

Bring back Fred Thomas!

Also, I think the absence of the inactive Steve Gleason hurt us on Special Teams.

Also, it's obvious from the "cut Copper posts", that we need Joe Horn back. Drew Brees said on the radio this morning that they think Joe will be back next week. We're going to need him.

Get well soon guys.

Fred Thomas has only given up 1 big play. He gives up a bunch of 7-10 yard passing plays but rarely gets beat deep. We missed him badly yesterday and there is no doubt in my mind that we win that game with a healthy Thomas.
